Microglia are a resident macrophage of the central nervous system at the intersection of immunology and neuroscience. They have gained increasingly more attention over the past decade as more research shows that they are key contributors to neural circuit development and function. There is also increasing evidence that microglia are also important in the etiology of many nervous system diseases. This workshop will highlight the many important functions of microglia to nervous system physiology and function, the newest and most exciting literature and will bring together researchers using state-of the art imaging, genomics and molecular biology to study these enigmatic cells.

The Congress is tailored around the theme “Know the Unknown Advanced Solutions on Neurology.”

The meeting is comprised of diverse scientific sessions in neurology, neurophysiology & CNS, neuropsychiatry and mental health, neurosurgery, neurorehabilitation, neuromuscular disorders, neurodegenerative disorder, neurotherapeutics, neurological nursing, clinical trials, and recent research and case studies.

Liquid phase separation is emerging as a common biophysical basis underlying many important cellular functions. This conference will bring together scientists from soft matter polymer physics, molecular “un” structural biologists, and biologists working in cell, developmental and neurobiology 

• to increase the awareness for how important phase separation is for our understanding of many biological processes
• to explore the large repertoire of new tools generated by other disciplines that are ripe to be applied to complex problems related to phase separation
• to close the gap in human potential and transdisciplinary training to tackle the role of phase separation in biology.

Aim and scope:

The event is designed to offer diverse sessions that address the theme “Emerging Challenges and Advances in Neuroscience” and explore advances in research, practice, management and education in relation to disparities as well as a breadth of other topics. This provides a platform that describes and discusses the increasing global public health importance of common neurological disorders such as dementia, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinsonism, headache & Migraine, multiple sclerosis, neuroinfections, neurological disorders associated with malnutrition, pain management, stroke and traumatic brain injuries, Psychiatric Disorders and also clinical aspects.

Our conference aims to:

Neurovascular biology is a young, emerging field that aims to unravel the molecular communication between the nervous system and the vasculature. Both the nervous system and the vascular system share striking conceptual similarities in the assembly of cellular networks through guided growth and branching processes. Vascular and neural cells work together to form a number of functional tissue compartments. Endothelial cells, certain mural support cells (i.e., pericytes), astrocytes and neurons assemble the neurovascular unit, which establishes the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers. In fact, many of the most debilitating neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive decline involve disruption of the neurovascular unit or compromised vascular function in the nervous system. It has become increasingly clear that the endothelium and mural support cells function go beyond nutrient supply and are instructive and structurally required to allow nervous system function.

In this symposium, we bring together researchers from vascular biology and neurobiology to foster interdisciplinary exchange and new emerging concepts on how vascular and nervous systems crosstalk to maintain organ homeostasis and function

Neuroepigenetics is a young field that is attracting a lot of attention. Genome-wide association studies and mouse models continue to discover new connections between chromatin regulators and neurodevelopmental disorders and epigenetic pathways have been implicated in various physiological and pathological aspects of brain function, such as memory formation and recovery, addiction and neurodegeneration.

This conference aims to provide a gathering opportunity for researchers of all levels who are interested in how gene regulation participates in the development and function of the brain, with particular attention to the chromatin-based regulation of gene expression. The key objective is to bring together, in the same meeting, two groups of scientists: neuroscientists with interest in gene regulation and molecular biologists with strong expertise in the mechanisms of transcription and epigenetics that want to apply their knowledge to understanding how the brain works. We believe the two groups can learn a lot from each other and we hope this conference can function as a catalyst for scientific exchange and collaboration between them.
